Announcement Regarding Content on Patreon

This is an announcement I desperately hoped I'd never have to make: content based on consensual non-consent (sometimes called "rapeplay") will no longer have a place on my Patreon. I am completely complying with their request to remove all content of that nature--including the Bucket--from their platform. But let's be clear: Patreon is not the villain.

The villain is someone who can't accept that their sexual preference and health is not someone else's. The villain is someone who wants to enforce their toxic beliefs on others. The villain is someone who naively believes that "moral victory" is a phrase that is ever used by someone truly achieving one. 

Patreon goes to bat for creators in a way that no other platform really does, and its attempt to create spaces as safe from censorship as we can be in a world run by puritanical payment processors is a desert oasis. If you take the fight anywhere, take it to them: take it to the companies that believe they know better than independent studies, than professionals, than experts, than the affected individuals themselves.

As for my fight, it continues. I will be doubling down on podcast production and the development of Thursday audios into something bigger. I will also be dedicating most Reddit post days to content of the nature that has been removed from my Patreon as a tribute to those who enjoyed my work searching for quality realizations of their fantasies. Most of my planned consensual content will now exclusively be on Patreon as a result of this change. Patreon's schedule will be unaffected.

It's hard to completely express how much this mandatory change upsets me because I don't want to seem disingenuous. This is something I firmly believe in, and I will speak as long as I have a place for my voice to be heard. You won't hear it on Patreon, but it will be out there. 

It's not something I say very often, because I am not the kind of person who chooses to mingle much of myself with the content that I create, but your support is more important now than it's ever been. I have a clear vision for the future of my content after this change, but I want that to be a future that includes all my listeners, not just the portion that Stripe approves of.

Some of you watched me initially wander the wasteland of Reddit. Some of you have seen me stumble through the early stages of YouTube. Some of you have been witness to the awkward transition periods when my inner demon (sometimes mistakenly referred to as "creativity") screams at me for change. Thank you for coming this far with me, and I hope to see you on the next leg of my journey--the hardest one yet.
